Much of ESTON Training’s success in training professional commercial, software and technical authors can be attributed to the methods it adopts in packaging and marketing its distance learning authorship training courses. ESTON’s bespoke Commercial/Technical Authorship writing courses offer first-class training for a second career, with several distinctly different training programmes to suit every pocket.

The tutorial support was excellent! Both Wilma Cowie and Stan McKerron were always friendly and helpful. I received a lot of constructive guidance and tips. The tutorial responses were returned promptly.

M.S – Qualified last year

This is first-class training from a knowledgeable and well-organised provider. I would not hesitate to recommend ESTON Training to friends, family or work colleagues – in fact, I already have done!

M.W – Qualified this year

Great news (for me)! I landed a job. I saw a job posting and sent in my CV. I went for the interview last Monday and they offered me the job on Tuesday. I will be working 20 hours a week, predominantly from home.
